I love this simple site.  It allows you to generate quick math worksheets. You can print them off, but I think it would also work well projected on the Smartboard.

Thanks to Tim Clarke who posted this link on Plurk.

Over the last few months,  Jeff [Technology Mentor] and I have been traveling to the 18 schools in our District with a supply teacher to offer technology pd sessions.   The teachers in that school are able to sign up for one hour of technology PD while the supply teacher covers the class.

Teachers love this approach to professional development as they can work with us individually and don’t have the stress of preparing lessons for a full day of being away from their students in order to learn something new.

I put the results of the teachers’ requests into Wordle.  Wordle is a word cloud generator.  If words are repeated, then wordle makes the size of that word larger.

Its not hard to tell what teachers in our District are interested in!
